Happy Surprise 80th birthday, Grammie!

This year Grammie turns 80, so the family wanted to throw a surprise party for her. We went to the Galley in Anderson and many of her dear friends came out to celebrate. MOST of the family was there (those who live far away couldn't make it :(), and every single friend of hers that we invited (and there were probably 20!) came! That tells you that my Grammie is a very loved lady.

When my Papi died, Grammie did not stop living. She began even more to pour her life into serving other people. She is constantly loving on people, taking them bread or tea, or whatever goodies she has made that day. I have seen an example of a servant in her life that I would like to follow. She is such a wonderful lady, and I thank God for putting her in my life.

Life is always so exciting with her- and I look forward to so many more memories over the next 80 years! :)

She had NO CLUE! GREAT expression as she saw the room full
for the first time! "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!"

Pictures from when dad's family was younger... so much fun to look back and see how people have changed!

Carrie was reading a note and poem from Sarah Louise. We missed Rach, Matt and co, Sarah and Monroe and Katie! Sarah wrote a little note from all of us. We are blessed.

We had a sweet time sharing special memories and thoughts with Grammie. Such a wonderful lady!

PART of our immediate family... 

ALWAYS good to see Sara Margaret. :) Best friend right there.
Thankful for Grammie's life, and thankful that God chose to put her in MY life.
